"This North Beach waterfront restaurant from chef Steve Santana features a variety of traditional tacos like al pastor, chicken, and lengua served on handmade blue-masa corn tortillas so superlative that Taquiza now supplies them for half the restaurants in town. A visit to Taquiza isn’t complete without an order of the totopos — warm, delicately crisp, and surprisingly light homemade tortilla chips that pair perfectly with Taquiza’s creamy guacamole or tangy queso. The laid-back, beachy vibe attracts a mix of locals and tourists, who gather on the breezy outdoor patio to enjoy tacos, ocean views, and a glass of sangria or michelada. For those craving more than tacos, the elote — grilled corn on the cob topped with cilantro-jalapeño crema and cotija cheese — is a must-try." - Olee Fowler
